A beautiful piece of junk - 2009 Lincoln MKS
By flaflamingo - June 3 - 4:24 amThis was the most beautiful car I have ever owed. However, after being in the shop just first year over 10 times, the problems just got worse. The first week I owned it, put the moon roof and it peeled the headliner back from the roof. Then the drivers seat broke, 3 of the 4 locking mechanisms were replaced (this continued after replacing), AC would not be consistently cold, lumbar blew out in passenger side (also in drivers side 50 miles out of warranty), garage door opener never worked, door numbers worked hit and miss, swipe of numbers wouldnt work. This went on up until the time I traded it. They would not declare a lemon; Lincoln refused to work with me

Not Worth The Money - 2009 Lincoln MKS
By Joe - April 24 - 11:36 pmRepeated problems with the seats; its been in the shop for 2 weeks this month with 3 different trips. The dealer fails to see the problems with the car just because the computer isnt showing codes. I guess codes are better than people in determining problems. Yeah right. If my car was on fire and it didnt spit out codes there must not be a problem, right. I wish I could get my money back. Im wondering if I can get the vehicle returned under the lemon law even if the dealer wont recognize the problems.

I wish I never bought it. - 2009 Lincoln MKS
By dreamer - January 7 - 8:26 amIt was my dream car before I bought it, now it is my nightmare. I have 20000 miles in it. I have had and still have many issues with this car, and I seriously regret to buying it. During this time I had several rental cars while my car was being fixed, but all of them were far more responsive and sped up faster than my car, even the cheaper/basic ones. The service department at the Gengras Lincoln in East Harford CT is telling me that everything is fine with the car and it matches with the manufactures specification, the transmission hesitates to switch down or up, but this is how it was planned and supposed to work. Needless to say when you spend this amount of money on a brand new

2009 MKS - A bad mistake - 2009 Lincoln MKS
By tgeorge1241 - October 30 - 2:35 pmI bought this car, loaded, used in the summer of 2012. Since it only had 17,000 miles on it I really thought it would be a good car I could drive for several more years. I sold it 7 months later. As far as Im concerned Lincoln(Ford) builds nothing but junk. The acceleration was terrible; pokey and jerky. Id be at a stop light with no one near me for miles and the side assist warning system would starting beeping. Two months in and part of the drivers seat fell apart and a piece of the grill fell out. Gas mileage was terrible and in the rain the MKS drove skidded all over. Ill never buy a Lincoln or Ford again.

Unhappy owner - 2009 Lincoln MKS
By fluffypuppy - August 3 - 11:50 amAfter my Lincoln Continental I have high expectation when I bought my Lincoln MKS. I wish I never did. With the same problem I had to go 3 times back, before the dealership find the problem and then took a week to fix it. It was a seal leaked the the seat circulated the burned oil into the cabinet. I suffered head ache as result for months. Also the car is underpowered, slow; the shift does not shift timely, while the engine roaring. When I go down on a hill when other drives push the break, i had to puss the gas in order to keep up with the traffic; going up on a hill my car was not abble to go up I had to manually switch back the gear. I am disappointed in this car.
